Best antenna for my area?

Hello,

I'm pretty new to all of this, I'm wondering if I could get any advice on which antenna would be best for my area. My TV fool report is here. Here are some details:

-I'm looking to mount the antenna on the roof
-I live in a well treed rural area
-I'm looking to get the most channels possible

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask any further questions, I will answer them to the best of my abilities.

Install a Winegard HD7698P antenna aimed at about 83 degree magnetic compsass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna.
____________

No antenna amplifier is required for 1 Tv connected.

For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.

____________

For 2 or 3 Tv's connected with a 2 or 3 way splitter , use a Winegard LNA-100 'Boost' amplifier.

____________

Here are some places to buy antennas and etc. .

______________

Install the HD7698P antenna , Up High above ground , so reception has the least amount of obstructions in directions of reception.

South East , East and North East.

For 2 Tv's connected use a 2 way splitter.

Thanks!

Wow, thank you for the great reply. I appreciate the work. I have some more information, and a couple more questions:

I just hooked up some set top rabbit ears, and I can pick up some of the greens (4, 6, 9, 13 and 24). If I was to purchase and install the suggested items, how many more channels could I reasonably expect? Is there any way to pick up the grey channels, specifically WNYF? I understand it really isn't 100% possible to tell until everything is set up, but I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect.
